<p>"1829: There is a sense of delirium in Commentary Box Four at the moment, we are living Isner-Mahut. Suggestions that both men should be given laptops so they can check their emails at the next changeover, and we can't be far off a hairdresser being called to Court 18. It's 38-38."</p>
<p>"1920: Lots of people asking if the umpire is allowed a 'comfort break'. I would imagine they're a hardy bunch who would not crumble under the pressure. I do expect to see Mohamed Lahyani wheeled straight off court and into the locker rooms at the end though, it could be a bit dicey getting down from that chair. Isner 45-44 Mahut."</p>
<p>"1926: Day 36, and John is in the diary room. He has a recurring nightmare that every time he holds serve some chirpy French fella does exactly the same and he's back to square one. Isner 46-45 Mahut. I'm going to need a shave soon."
